It's amazing what Apple has achieved with their ARM chip. Expecting more and more things to run on ARM, honestly. Especially for any device that's remotely limited by thermal budgets.

I'm enjoying Gears Tactics, it's a very solid strategy game and the genre fits the setting like a glove. We'll see if it has enough variety to feel fresh throughout the campaign but so far so good.
Some good mods starting to pop up for Cyberpunk on nexus. I am so afraid to install any of them because as they update the game it will break mods, performance. I'll wait for a few more updates b4 trying to go down that rabbit hole. I remember save files being corrupt and dead with W3 as well because of mods so yea their engine is thin when it comes to that stuff.
The batman flying over his head is what makes the image so good
This made me laugh. Sorry, not sorry.
Only 8 mb before the save file becomes unplayable?
Were they developing this game using 128 PS2s fused together or something?
It's as if honesty and realistic expectations might not have gone unrewarded in the long term. Crunching to get it out for the holidays, as well as being unrealistic about console sales (ie the last gen of consoles can't play this game) were probably avoidable problems. All that mess for nothing. The game would have sold tremendously no matter what if they didn't focus on big first day numbers. It really throws a lot of cold water on those claims about the game being profitable on day one. I really wonder if that last minute delay that took everybody by surprise was sheer terror at having to support those last gen consoles. But nah, MAX SALES DAY ONE. Day two, how bout those returns and loss of reputation?
should have cancelled the PS4/XB1 versions entirely and delayed the game 6-12 months
Yeah seems like even doing just the last gen cancels would have dramatically cut down on the craziness. The bugs can be fixed. Old hardware can't. Although, a good delay would have let PS5/XB ownership catch up.
It's unfortunate to see so many people put through the wringer after working so long to make something cool, because someone at CDPR just couldn't let go of that old console money, or wait for the new console money.
sooo my PC died. It overheated playing Cyberpunk, shut off, something inside it went poof (there was an audible noise i did not like a single bit) and it smelled (well, still smells) burned inside. I opened it but cannot determine where exactly the smell comes from. It doesnt power on now, it just stays dead. What are your guesses? CPU, PSU, GPU? I'm think PSU since it makes not a flinch when I try to power it on now.
Ah well. Using my work laptop and GeforceNow to play more Cyberpunk to get my mind off the fact that Cyberpunk killed my PC.

Yes. That is what I would say. Or motherboard? Or CPU?
When my GPU burnt, I could boot the PC, even hear the sound when the Windows login screen appears. Unplugging the HDMI and using a VGA cable was sufficient to see something on the screen.
PSU is a be quiet! Pure Power 10 with 500W
the other specs are a bit hard to determine now that it doesnt power on since I dont remember exactly.
its a MSi motherboard, a MSi GTX1070 Ti, an Intel i7 or i9 CPU with a be quiet cooler.
Yeah my first reaction was to get the GPU out, even tho I dont have the correct cables for the onboard graphics, but yeah, its not powering on at all
I'll check if I can borrow a PSU from somewhere to see if its that
Also, Geforce Now in a browser is a bit crap since Esc breaks the cursor lock...now I cant get out of menus in Cyberpunk anymore
Kingmaker laughs at you in its 20+mb save files. I can't even sync over GoG because my save folder is 3gb and the cloud limit is 1.5.
Sekiro killed my PSU last year. I paused the game and left for 5 min when I came back it was dead. Ironically it came from pausing in a game people hated Miyazaki for putting in pausing.
If you have a second unused/old pc laying around its easy to check by swapping around parts to see if they work on other machine.
Otherwise just go to a local store and buy wtvr PSU they have. Install it and see if it is indeed the problem. If it is just return it and buy a better one online.
If you are getting nothing at all when trying to power up, then my guess it would be indeed the PSU, or maybe the motherboard.
You can power up the PSU without a motherboard (unless things have changed a lot recently) by connecting two pins on the 24-pins connector that goes into the motherboard using something like a paperclip
Is my power supply dead?: The Paperclip Test
If your unit is not giving any signs of powering on you can test it using the Paperclip test. You will need: 1x metal paperclip Steps: 1. Flip the switch on the back of your power supply to the off position "0". 2. Disconnect you...
support.antec.com
Don't forget to disconnect the PSU from everything first. With that you should have an idea if the PSU is working or not.
And yeah, Cyberpunk appears to be a "killer" of systems.... over here my old 7700K was really struggling and getting very hot, so I decided stop playing until after some patches and an upgrade on my part.
In other news.....
make sure to vote for it
So earlier this year my PSU died from me playing CSGO

Thanks for your inputs. I'll try these things. Not sure I have a paperclip, but those shouldnt be so hard to come by. Have them in the office, of course, just dont spend much time there nowadays. I think I have an old PSU at my parents place, I might try that first before I buy a cheap one to test.
ugh :/
I managed to get around this by using a controller btw. Was kinda surprised my work laptop would let me pair my DS4, but here we are. Whenever the game needed an ESC input, I just use the controller for that. Bit clunky, but I'll live.Also, Geforce Now in a browser is a bit crap since Esc breaks the cursor lock...now I cant get out of menus in Cyberpunk anymore

I enjoyed my time with Gears Tactics, too. Played it at lunch. It was also my first time playing a Gears game.
A solid first attempt by the team, and there's enough differences to set it apart from the X-COM styled games. The boss fights are enjoyable, the characters are great, and the story is interesting. It was a smart decision by the team to set the game as a prequel. However,
the lack of mission variety is a big black mark against the game.
Also, the Brumak boss OST is
My save folder is 50mb. It supposed to be well beyond corrupted or what?
The thing is that even a single autosave is 3-4mb, so at most you can only have 2 save files which is impossible as there are 9 autosave and 3 quicksave slots. I only have 2 manual saves with me atm.
It's per file, not the whole folder. if a save file is over 8mb it will be corrupted and unrecoverable.
I would assume individual saves become corrupt at 8 MB. Size of the save folder probably doesn't matter.
when the todd is dunking on your game for bugs life is overOnly 8 mb before the save file becomes unplayable?
I'm enjoying my playthrough of Yakuza 7 a lot. Thematic wise, in the beginning, I was kind of worried it will be a retread of Yakuza Kiwami (I went in pretty much blind), but I'm glad my worries are unfounded. This game is obviously a lot stronger than Kiwami, while also highlighting one aspect from Yakuza 0 I really like -- the life of the disenfranchised and the unwanted. Namely, the homeless and the immigrants.
This game has a good social commentary about xenophobia and the negative social stigma of sex workers as well. The best thing is, Yakuza 7 succeeded in telling these stories without being preachy -- trapping of most western media tackling the same sort of themes-- while still giving a bright, and hopeful outlook.

I see, that explains it. But how does a save file get bigger? I've never heard such a thing before. It's usually the folder size getting bigger because you have more save files and it may cause issues, like in Unity games (I remember this from Battletech).
More stuff in the save file. Suppose you have a game with a crafting system. This means you can't have just gun.count = 10,000,000. You end up having to store 10,000,000 instances of that gun with a unique name string, unique stats, etc. If you don't have some kind of cap or system to delete the oldest, the save file will balloon as it stores more and more. Bethesda games had save bloat due to a lot of things, but things like piles of ash from blastered enemies was one root cause of PS3 save bloat issues.
Whoever wrote Cyberpunk's save system likely allocated an 8MB buffer to store save data before paging it out to disk. Corrupting over 8MB is too specific to be accidental.
Okay, thanks for the explanation. I guess I'll be fine if I'm just playing normally.
Also, why would any PC player use such money exploit when we can just use cheatengine lol.
Disambling stuffs that you don't need anymore seems to be the safe bet.
I'm safe for now.
Looking at the Cyberpunk OC score since it's all systems combined.
Hey SE how about fixing Nier A. It's a good game but yeah score should not be that high

I'm at 5.1mb, Gonna try to finish map clearing this weekend and possibly beat the game so I can await 30 patches and a couple DLC and come back to it.My Cyberpunk saves are up to 5.6mb!
I've cleared 5/7 areas, just Pacifica and Santo Domingo to go. I really need to get back to the main quest at some point!
Mine are resoundingly low at 3.5mb, since I'm a compulsive "gotta keep my inventory nice and clean" person.My Cyberpunk saves are up to 5.6mb!
Why do capture cards have to be so expensive? I want to record some gameplay on my Switch and not spend $150 on an Elgato.
At least Amazon is already using their own Arm chips: Amazon's Arm-based Graviton2 Against AMD and Intel: Comparing Cloud Compute
I've built up quite the collection of useless food items, pages and pages. Need to sell them all, 1st priority.
This unknown game is marked for a free weekend, which ends on the day of the Winter sales:

Nice! Always wanted to play these. I think I have a copy of the PS3 remaster lying around somewhere but I never touched it and kinda lost interest when it became obvious they weren't going to port the sequel.No More Heroes - ESRB

Ah, I impulse bought the first one when it released on Switch.
Then I saw that to recharge you lightsaber in undocked mode you have to do a quick succession of left/right on the right analog.
On a Switch. It's cool, just a highway to controller drift
Never bought it on my Switch because a part of me expected this. Nice.No More Heroes - ESRB
